coming volume  will  exhibit  that  superiority  in  excellence  over  its  predecessors  which  has  been 
a  feature  in  each  successive  issue  of  the  series,  and  which  results  from  the  intelligent  efforts  and 
determination  of  the  publisher  to  keep  the  publication  abreast  in  every  way  with  the  improve-

NOTE. 

The  books  described  in  the  accompanying  catalogue 
comprise  the  Library  of  a  gentleman  who  has  devoted 
many  years  and  a  large  expenditure  of  means  in  accu- 
mulating it. 

The  collection,  as  a  whole,  is  one  of  unusual  excellence 
and  interest.  It  is  seldom,  indeed,  that  a  Library  so  per- 
fect in  the  essentials  requisite  for  a  gentleman  is  placed  at 
the  disposal  of  the  public.  In  the  number  and  range  of 
desirable  books,  in  the  choice  of  editions,  in  the  careful 
selection  of  copies,  the  judicious  and  often  costly  bindings, 
and  the  perfect  condition  of  the  whole,  it  has  seldom  been 
equalled. 

The  Library  is  particularly  strong  in  standard  authors, 
in  the  department  of  fine  arts,  and  comprises  all  the  most 
notable  art  publications,  both  old  and  new ;  galleries  and 
collections  of  prints,  etchings,  drawings,  and  standard 
treatises  in  English,  French  and  German — all  being  in  the 
finest  possible  condition,  a  considerable  number  of  which 
could  not  easily  be  duplicated,  with  others  that  are  abso- 
lutely unique.  The  prices  at  which  the  books  are  offered 
are  very  reasonable,  in  many  cases  from  twenty-five  to 
fifty  per  cent,  below  their  original  cost,  with  the  object  of 
inducing  a  speedy  sale.

triumphs  of  contemporaneous  American  interior  architecture  and  decoration,  not  only  by  the 
testimony  of  American  architects,  but  of  foreign,  who,  especially  in  Paris,  have  expressed  their 
delight  and  surprise  at  the  revelations  made  by  some  of  these  pictures.  In  presenting  the 
completed  'Artistic  Houses'  to  the  subscribers,  the  publishers  venture  to  believe  that  the 
presentation  it  makes  of  the  beauty  and  comfort  of  the  American  home  will  be  a  lasting  and 
most  honorable  memorial  of  the  genius  that  inspired  them.  The  domestic  architecture  of  no

"  While  speaking  of  the  English  school,  I  must  not  omit  to  notice  a  truly  original  genius, 
who,  though  not  a  painter,  was  an  artist  of  the  highest  order  in  his  way —  Thomas  Bewick, 
the  admirable  designer  and  engraver  on  wood.  His  works,  indeed,  are  of  the  smallest  dimen- 
sions, but  this  makes  it  only  the  more  surprising  that  so  much  interest  could  be  comprised  within 
such  little  spaces.  The  wood-cuts  that  illustrate  his  books  of  natural  history  may  be  studied 
with  advantage  by  the  most  ambitious  votary  of  the  highest  classes  of  art  —  filled  as  they  are 
by  the  truest  feeling  for  nature,  and  though  often  representing  the  most  ordinary  objects,  yet 
never,  in  a  jingle  instance,  degenerating  into  commonplace.  The  charming  vignettes  that

*»*  Bumouf  contends  that  if  we  trace  the  religious  systems  of  ancient  India  and  Persia  to 
their  source,  we  come  to  a  primitive  Aryan  religion,  which  sprung  from  a  deep  insight  into 
the  principles  of  nature,  and  which  was  in  fact  a  refined  system  of  metaphysics  founded  on  a 
thorough  grasp  of  physical  facts.  This  primitive  Aryan  religion  was  not  only  the  fountain 
head  of  the  religions  of  the  Veda  and  Avesta,  but  also  of  Christianity  itself  Every  reader, 
whether  able  or  not  to  accept  Bumouf 's  conclusions,  will  find  much  that  is  instructive  and 
suggestive  of  thought.

The  Havemeyer  Library.  15 

lected  and  published  by  R.  H.  Cromek,  fourth  edition, 
1817,  8vo,  inlaid  to  2  vols.,  4to,  and  illustrated  by  the  addi- 
tion of  71  portraits  and  plates,  95  autograph  letters,  directly 
concerning  the  works  of  Burns,  10  original  sketches  in  pen- 
cil, sepia,  and  water-color,  by  Thos.  Stothard,  among  them 
being  Burns'  tomb,  his  fiddle  and  triangle,  his  writing-bureau, 
and  the  Plough  with  which  he  turned  up  the  Mouse  and 
the  Daisy,  a  manuscript  fac-simile  of  a  letter  by  Bums,  a 
catalogue  of  the  sale  of  his  correspondence  with  Thomson, 
and  a  notice  of  the  funeral  of  Mrs,  Burns;  also  a  third 
and  supplementary  volume,  being  a  collection  of  135  ex- 
tremely interesting  autograph  letters  by  J.  Currie  (the 
editor  and  biographer  of  Burns),  and  others,  and  miscella- 
neous manuscript  details,  the  whole  relating  exclusively  to 
Bums  and  his  works.  Together  3  vols.,  4to,  dark-blue 
morocco  extra,  gilt  edges,  by  Riviere.     $750.00. 

This  important  series  of  documents  has  undoubtedly  come  originally  from  the  oflSce  of 
Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies,  publishers  of  the  "  Rehques,"  and  the  following  analysis  of  the  con- 
tents will  suffice  to  prove  the  interest  it  must  possess  to  all  time  for  every  admirer  of  one  of 
Scotland's  greatest  poets.     The  first  two  volumes  contain : 

Nine  Letters  by  Gilbert  Bums  (the  poet's  brother)  to  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies,  between 
1815  and  1819,  respecting  a  new  edition  of  the  Poems,  "qualifying  the  representation  of  his 
brother's  moral  habits,  given  by  Doctor  Currie,"  suggesting  alterations  of  the  arrangement  of 
the  volumes,  etc.,  at  considerable  length. 

Eight  Letters  by  Cromek  (editor  of  the  "  Reliques  "). 

Five  Letters  by  M'Creery  (printer  of  the  "  Reliques"). 

Ten  Letters  by  W.  Roscoe. 

Sixteen  Letters  by  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies  to  Gilbert  Bums,  Currie  and  others,  and 

Twenty-one  Letters  by  Currie,  Cunningham,  G.  and  W.  Thomson,  Alex.  Chalmers,  H. 
Raebum,  Ainslie,  Bengo  (the  engraver  of  Bums'  portrait).  Gray,  and  Stuttaby. 

Twenty-five  Documents,  including  Cromek's  first  draft  of  the  Title  of  the  "  Reliques,"  De- 
tails of  cost  of  printing  this  edition.  Receipts  for  payments  for  editing  and  printing  the  "  Rel- 
iques," and  account  with  Stothard  for  the  drawings. 

"The  third  volume  contains : 

Forty-six  Letters  by  Dr.  Currie,  chiefly  to  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies. 

Twenty-nine  Letters  by  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies,  chiefly  to  Dr.  Currie. 

Twelve  Letters  by  Bums'  friend,  W.  Thomson. 

Ten  Letters  by  M'Creery  (printer  of  the  "  Reliques  "). 

Thirty-eight  Letters  by  Alex.  Chalmers,  W.  W.  Currie,  G.  Thomson,  Lauri,  Mrs. 
Riddell,  "T.  Stuart,  T.  Manners,  and  others,  including  one  from  Cromek,  with  reference  to 
Stothard's  drawings  for  Bums*  Works,  stating  that  the  artist  has  his  heart  in  them,  etc. 

Also  the  following  MSS.  : 

A  List  of  Subscribers  to  the  Works. 

An  Account  between  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies  and  Mrs.  Bums. 

Minutes  of  Meeting  of  Trustees  of  Bums,  March  22,  i860. 

Account  of  Copies  of  Bums'  Works,  delivered  to  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies. 

Account  between  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies  and  M'Creery. 

Accounts  between  Messrs.  Cadell  &  Davies  and  T.  Manners,  writer  to  the  "  Sigjnet,"  of 
Edinburgh. 

Nothing  short  of  deliberate  perusal  of  these  lengthy  letters  can  show  how  full  of  interest 
they  are,  and,  where  each  one  has  its  special  point,  it  becomes  diflicult  to  refer  to  one  more 
than  another.  Attention  may,  however,  be  drawn  to  a  letter  by  Roscoe,  addressed  to  Gilbert 
Bums, — a  communication  of  fourteen  folio  pages, —  having  reference  to  the  moral  character 
of  the  poet,  and  vigorously  defending  Dr.  Currie  for  the  account  given  in  his  Life  of 
Bums.  In  all  probabihty  no  similar  collection  of  the  like  importance  can  ever  be  offered 
for  sale.

*»*  "  These  letters  fully  deserve  their  high  reputation  as  original  authorities  of  great  his- 
torical value,  for  Busbecq  enjoyed  exceptional  advantages  of  acquiring  political  information 
during  momentous  crises  in  European  history.  Equally  well  merited  is  their  widespread 
popularity,  for  they  form  a  delightful  medley  of  valuable  information,  shrewd  observations  on 
men  and  manners,  social  and  scientific  gossip,  humorous  and  pathetic  anecdotes."

In  addition  to  the  costumes,  the  work  is  made  more  interesting  by  its  exhibiting  numer-

arms  and  armor  of  every  description ;  Personal  Ornaments :  rings,  necklaces,  bracelets  and

ments of  all  kinds,  etc. 

This  is  not  an  ephemeral  or  hastily  concocted  work  from  scanty  materials,  but  one  com- 
piled with  extreme  care  by  competent  editors,  who  have  long  devoted  themselves  to  the  study

The  only  works  treating  of  the  caricaturists  of  the  present  century  generally  are  those 
of  Buss,  originally  delivered  in  the  form  of  lectures,  and  James  Barton,  which  last  devotes  but 
thirty  pages  to  English  caricature.  The  present  volume,  therefore,  supplies  in  a  compact 
form  a  body  of  interesting  information  on  the  subject  which  would  otherwise  only  be  procur- 
able at  considerable  expense  of  both  time  and  money.  Mr.  Everett  has  treated  his  subject  in 
a  thorough  and  workmanlike  way,  and  has  evidently  made  a  thorough  survey  of  the  ground. 
The  three  Cruikshanks,  Rowlandson,  Gillray,  "H.  B.,"  Kenny  Meadows,  Doyle,  |' Phiz," 
and  Leech  and  Tenniel  are  all  fully  portrayed,  and  the  narration  of  the  events  which  their 
designs  bear  on  is  given,  thus  enabling  the  observer  to  understand  the  full  force  of  the  satire.

"Upon  the  merits  of  Mr.  Gould's  works  it  is  unnecessary  to  enlarge,  for  it  has  long  been 
acknowledged  by  naturalists  that  they  stand  at  the  very  head  of  their  class,  whether  as  regards 
the  accuracy  of  their  drawing  or  the  beauty  and  correctness  of  their  coloring;  to  say  nothing 
of  the  scientific  and  interesting  character  of  the  descriptions. 

"Another  g^eat  charm  of  Mr.  Gould's  productions,  one  which  from  their  commencement 
brought  them  into  high  popularity,  and  one  which  will  ever  secure  for  them  the  favor  of  all 
classes,  whether  scientific  or  not,  is  the  unequaled  skill  displayed  in  the  attitudes,  groupings, 
movements,  and  accessories  of  the  birds."

ing collections  of  real  letters  that  have  been  given  to  the  public ;  and  being  indebted  for  no

they  narrate,  afford  in  their  success  a  more  honorable  testimony  of  the  talents  of  the  author. 
The  great  charm  of  the  correspondence  indeed  is  its  perfect  independence  of  artificial  helps, 
and  the  air  of  fearlessness  and  originality  which  it  has  consequently  assumed."

"  They  who  know  the  Dutch  painter  Hals  only  through  the  few  portraits  by  him  which 
have  reached  this  country  have  but  a  slight  comparative  acquaintance  with  his  works.  '  A 
stranger  to  all  academical  lore,  to  all  literary  co-operation,'  writes  Mr.  Vosmaer,  '  Frans  Hals 
appeared  merely  as  a  portrait  painter,  like  most  of  the  modern  artists  of  his  youth  .  .  .  true 
to  life,  but  also  excelling  by  naturalness  and  masterly  handling.  Subsequently  he  portrayed 
the  joyous  popular  life  of  the  streets  and  the  tavern ;  at  last  those  phases  of  national  social  life, 
which  have  at  once  their  image  and  memorial  in  the  pictures  of  the  arquebusiers  and  the  civic 
governors.'" — Loniion  Art  Journal,  Aug.,  1873.

"This  singularly  entertaining  work  may  be  described  as  the  first  English  novel,  properly 
so-called.  The  same  air  of  reality  pervades  it  as  that  which  gives  such  a  charm  to  the  stories 
written  by  Defoe  half  a  century  later.  The  interest  never  flags  for  a  moment  from  the  first 
chapter  to  the  last.  As  a  picture  of  the  manners  of  the  period,  two  hundred  years  ago,  in 
England,  among  the  various  grades  of  society  through  which  the  hero  passes  in  the  course  of 
his  extraordinary  adventures,  and  among  gypsies,  beggars,  thieves,  etc.,  the  book  is  invalu- 
able to  students."

"  The  collector  who  contents  himself  with  the  later  impressions  of  Hogarth's  Works  will  not 
consult  our  artist's  reputation.  Those  who  wish  to  be  acquainted  with  the  whole  extent  of 
his  powers  should  assemble  the  first  copies,  together  with  the  varieties  of  his  capital  works." — 
George  Stevens. 

"  William  Hogarth  was  one  of  those  few  original  and  extraordinary  characters  with  whom 
it  has  pleased  Providence  occasionally  to  bless  the  world ;  to  enlighten  mankind,  and  to  carry 
the  arts  and  sciences  necessary  for  their  comfort,  pleasure,  and  improvement,  nearer  to  per- 
fection. Moved  by  the  impulse  of  genius  rather  than  the  tuition  of  man,  he  travelled  in  a  path 
unexplored  by  any  before  him,  and  which  remains  closed  to  succeeding  artists.  Possessing 
by  early  practise  the  knowledge  of  the  art  of  engraving,  he  was  enabled  to  disseminate  by  its 
means  the  ingenious  inventions  of  his  mind,  in  a  manner  more  perfect  than  those  of  other 
painters  have  been  presented  to  the  world:  or  than  probably  ever  again  will  be  done,  till 
another  painter  shall  be  his  own  engraver."

"It  would  not  be  easy  to  find  another  artist  with  ability  equal  to  Hook's  for  discussing  the 
good  and  evil,  the  passions  and  affectations,  the  fits  of  generosity  and  settled  systems  of  saying, 
the  self-sufficiency  and  the  deplorable  weakness,  the  light  and  darkness,  the  virtue  and  vice  of 
this  prodigious  Babel.  The  stories  which  he  tells  might  be  invented  with  little  outlay  of  fancy, 
for  the  best  of  them  are  far  from  being  consistent;  but  the  characters  which  live  and  breathe 
in  them  would  make  the  narratives  pleasing,  though  they  were  as  crooked  as  the  walls  of 
Troy." — Allan  Cunningham.

"La  Bruyire  is  not  a  speculative  moralist,  but  an  observer  of  the  manners  of  men ;  or  as 
he  likes  to  call  himself,  a  philosopher,  and  above  all  a  Christian  philosopher,  such  as  a  friend  of 
Bossuet  ought  to  be.  He  was  the  first  to  make  morality  attractive,  and  to  paint  characters  in 
a  literary  and  delicate  manner. 

"  His  style  has  been  praised  for  its  conciseness  and  picturesqueness ;  he  always  employs  the 
right  word  in  the  right  place ;  is  correct  in  his  expressions ;  varied  in  his  thoughts ;  highly 
imaginative,  and,  therefore,  may  be  called  a  perfect  literary  artist.  .  .  .  His  '  Characters ' 
will,  I  think,  be  read  for  many  ages,  be  found  very  entertaining,  and,  what  cannot  be  said 
of  the  works  of  every  classical  French  author,  will  be  better  liked  the  more  they  are  read."

the  fly-leaf,  and  there  can  be  little  doubt  the  MS.  was  prepared  specially  tor  the  use  of  this 
pontiff.  His  uncle  (Pope  Sixtus  IV.)  is  mentioned  by  name  in  conjunction  with  a  miniature 
representing  St.  Laurentius  dispensing  alms.  Julius  must  always  hold  a  distinguished  place 
in  the  annals  of  the  Papacy,  not  only  for  his  encouragement  of  painting,  sculpture,  and  archi- 
tecture, but  also  for  the  reason  that  he  began  the  erection  of  the  magnificent  church  of  St. 
Peter  at  Rome.  The  paintings  are  all  in  a  remarkably  fine  state  of  preservation,  andinclude 
a  portrait  of  the  scribe  writing  the  MS. ;  St.  John  preaching;  entombment  of  a  saint  by  a

This  very  interesting  publication  is  undoubtedly  the  most  magnificent  work  that  has  issued 
from  the  Parisian  Press ;  and  will  perpetuate  the  matchless  collection  which  formerly  graced 
the  Louvre,  combining,  as  it  did,  nearly  all  the  excellence  of  which  the  various  countries  on 
the  Continent  could  boast  in  painting  and  sculpture.  And  although  a  chain  of  wonderful 
events  lias  restored  many  of  the  brightest  gems  of  art  to  their  rightful  owners,  so  much  of  ex- 
cellence still  remains,  that  the  gallery  of  the  Louvre  is  yet,  to  the  man  of  taste,  the  greatest 
attraction  in  Paris,  and  the  very  circumstance  of  the  dispersion  of  so  many  wonderful  produc- 
tions gives  additional  value  to  the  work  which  describes  them  in  a  collected  state. 

It  js  necessary  to  observe,  that  this  work  is  not  a  mere  collection  of  Prints,  as  it  contains 
many  luminous  and  masterly  dissertations  upon  the  state  of  the  arts  in  diflferent  ages,  observa- 
tions upon  the  style,  excellence,  and  defects  of  the  various  schools  of  painting ;  a  minute  des- 
cription of  every  painting,  etc.,  drawn  with  extreme  care  and  correctness.

*,*  The  work  consists  of  a  selection  not  only  of  English  caricatures  but  even  what  was 
published  in  England  about  Napoleon.  His  career  as  it  appeared  to  the  English  caricaturist 
can  be  followed  here  fi-om  Gilray's  picture  of  him  as  a  ragged  urchin  gnawing  a  bone  in 
Corsica,  down  to  the  colophon  which  shows  him  with  folded  arms  gloomily  seated  on  a 
mushroom  overshadowing  the  island  of  St.  Helena. 

"The  book  deserves  to  tempt  that  mysterious  person  the  general  reader.  The  genera

of  his  appreciation.  Its  120  illustrations  are  exactly  designed  for  his  amusement,  and  it  is  his

interesting  matter  which  was  suppressed  by  O'Meara  when  he  published  "Napoleon  in 
Ejcile;  or,  a  Voice  from  Sl  Helena."  In  one  of  the  letters  he  says,  "  I  beg  you  not  to  imagine 
that  I  participate  in  Bonaparte's  sentiments  because  I  record  his  words,  or  that  I  by  any  means 
vouch  for  the  truth  of  his  assertions ;  on  the  contrary,  several  of  them  I  know  to  be  incorrect 
(such  as  Sir  Hudson  Lowe's  putting  his  hand  on  his  sword,  all  that  coarse  personal  abuse 
and  obloquy  vented  by  him,  etc.) ;  but  as  you  have  said  in  your  confidential  letter  that  Mr. 
Croker  wishes  to  hear  everything  I  can  pick  up  concerning  him,  I  have  thought  right  that 
Ministers  should  be  in  possession  of  his  real  mode  of  speaking  and  thinking."

523  ORIGINAL  DRAWINGS  in  Water-colors  and  India 
Ink  by  the  celebrated  William  Blake  (Pictor  Ig- 
notus).  a  series  of  ten  of  the  most  characteristic  of  the 
drawings  of  this  remarkable  artist.  In  size  about  9x12, 
carefully  mounted  on  cardboard.  Price  of  the  collection 
$250.00. 

These  drawings  would  appear  to  have  been  executed  somewhere  in  the  interval  between 
1800  and  1825.  They  are  all  of  a  more  finished  character  than  the  generality  of  Blake's 
sketches  (which  were_  merely  outlined  in  pencil  or  India  ink,  with  occasional  washes  of  color) . 

The  following  notice  of  Blake's  designs,  by  Henry  Fuseli,  is  prefixed  to  the  edition  of 
Blair's  "  Grave,"  edited  by  Cromek : 

"  The  author  has  endeavored  to  wake  sensibility  by  touching  our  sympathies  with  nearer, 
less  ambiguous,  and  less  ludicrous  imagery,  than  what  mythology,  Gothic  superstition,  or 
symbols  as  far-fetched  as  inadequate,  could  supply.  His  invention  has  been  chiefly  em- 
ployed to  spread  a  familiar  and  domestic  atmosphere  round  the  most  important  subjects,  to 
connect  the  visible  and  invisible  world,  without  provoking  probability,  and  to  lead  the  eye 
from  the  milder  light  of  time  to  the  radiations  of  eternity. 

"  Such  is  the  plan  and  moral  part  of  the  author's  invention  ;  the  technical  part,  and  the  ex- 
ecution of  the  artist,  though  to  be  examined  by  other  principles,  and  addressed  to  a  narrower 
circle,  equally  claim  approbation,  sometimes  excite  our  wonder,  and  not  seldom  our  fears, 
when  we  see  him  play  on  the  very  verge  of  legitimate  invention ;  but  wildness  so  picturesque 
in  itself,  so  often  redeemed  by  taste,  simplicity,  and  elegance,  what  child  of  fancy,  what  artist 
would  wish  to  discharge  ?  The  groups  and  single  figures  on  their  own  basis,  abstracted  from 
the  general  composition  and  considered  without  attention  to  the  plan,  frequently  exhibit  those 
genuine  and  unaffected  attitudes,  those  simple  graces  which  nature  and  the  heart  alone  can 
dictate,  and  only  an  eye  inspired  by  both  discover.  Every  class  of  artists,  in  every  stage  of 
their  progress  or  attamments,  from  the  student  to  the  finished  master,  and  from  the  contriver 
of  ornament,  to  the  painter  of  history,  will  find  here  materials  of  art  and  hints  of  improve- 
ment." 

*»*  This  is  an  exceptional  opportunity  for  art-schools,  museums,  etc.,  to  secure  a  series  of 
drawings  of  this  artist,  that  can  scarcely  be  expected  to  occur  again,  in  the  course  of  a  lifetime.

No  description  sufficiently  brief  for  a  bookseller's  catalogue  can  give  anything  like  an  ade-

resenting almost  every  artist,  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated.  Altogether,  it  must  have  cost 
many  years  of  patient  effort  to  collect  and  arrange  with  so  much  judgment  and  taste  so  large

of  one  of  Rembrandt's  most  difficult  and  complicated  etchings  —  a  copy  which,  if  we  must  bal- 
ance one  quality  against  another,  certainly  exceeds  the  most  perfect  photography  in  accuracy, 
while  at  the  same  time  it  possesses,  as  a  piece  of  execution  in  etching,  all  those  technical  mer- 
its for  which  Rembrandt  was  famous.  .  .  .  In  a  certain  sense,  and  for  some  peculiar  reasons 
which  will  be  given  in  support  of  the  assertion,  it  may  be  boldly  affirmed  that,  as  a  technical 
performance  merely,  such  a  copy  as  this  is  even  more  wonderful  than  the  original  plate 
jtself." — Philip  Gilbert  Hamerton.

*,*  Roberts'  "  Holy  Land  and  Egypt "  is  a  really  noble  and  grand  publication.  The  great

Remains  of  the  Land  of  the  Bible,  of  Ancient  Egypt,  Nubia,  etc.,  such  as  they  appear  now. 
Every  one  of  the  engravings  is  a  perfect  work  of  art ;  to  every  Bible  reader,  eveiy  Oriental

*^I*  The  Memoirs  of  Saint-Simon  form  a  perfect  panoramic  picture,  highly  finished  in  all  its 
details,  of  the  court  of  Louis  XIV.  Every  circumstance,  however  important  or  however 
trivial,  that  occurred  is  given.  They  give  us  the  most  varied  and  curious  information  respect- 
ing the  members  of  the  court.  It  was  not  until  1829  that  anything  like  a  complete  edition  of 
the  Memoirs  was  given  to  the  public.  The  work  at  once  made  a  great  sensation,  and  the 
caution  that  had  directed  its  long  suppression  was  to  a  certain  extent  justified.  Never  did  the 
Bourbon  family  receive  such  a  blow.  At  a  glance  the  public  had  presented  to  them  that  court 
which  had  hitherto  been  regarded  as  the  most  brilliant  ever  seen  in  France  —  its  tinsel  and 
gilding  stripped  from  it,  its  tatters  and  tags  displayed  in  all  their  wretchedness.  The  success 
of  the  work  was  immense.

628*  SHERIDAN. — A  volume  of  Extraordinary  Interest,  re- 
lating to  Richard  Brinsley  Sheridan,  author  of  the  "  School 
for  Scandal,"  being  a  Collection  of  72  Relics,  several  of 
which  are  personal,  including  Portraits,  Letters,  Drawings,

etc.,  etc.,  beautifully  mounted  on  cardboard  of  various  tints, 
with  linen  guards.  Folio,  green  morocco  extra,  tooled 
sides,  gilt  edges,  by  Zaehnsdorf,     $265.00. 

This  Collection  originally  formed  part  of  an  album  of  miscellaneous  engravings  and 
photographs,  of  recent  interest  only,  made  by  E.  L.  Burke  Sheridan,  from  among  which  they 
have  been  rescued,  and  now  make  an  important  memorial  of  the  brilliant  author,  politician 
and  wit,  as  well  as  of  other  persons  of  eminence  of  his  time.  They  descended  to  a  late 
owner  from  Miss  E.  A.  Tickell,  Sheridan's  niece  (named  after  his  first  wife),  a  lady  who,  as 
will  appear  fi-om  the  list  of  contents,  was  evidently  on  terms  of  great  intimacy  with  members 
of  George  the  Third's  family.  The  following  ts  a  brief  account  of  the  more  important 
items : 

Portrait  of  Miss  Tickell,  by  Sir  T.  Lawrence,  a  beautiful 
original  drawing,  in  chalk  and  colors. 
Portrait  of  Mrs.  Sheridan,  by  R.  Westall,  P.  R.  A.,  an  orig- 
inal water-color  drawing  of  Sheridan's  lovely  and  accom- 
plished first  wife  (born  Miss  Linley,  of  Bath),  accompanied 
by  an  engraved  portrait  after  Humphrey. 
An  Original  Pencil  Sketch  by  W.  Hogarth,  entitled  "  The 
Revoke  at  Whist"  (cut  out  with  scissors),  with  portrait. 
Twelve  Original  Water-color  Drawings,  by  Captain  Rich- 
ard Brinsley  Tickell,  Sheridan's  nephew  (named  after  him). 
Captain  Tickell  was  in  the  Royal  Navy,  and  was  killed  at 
Trafalgar.      The   drawings   represent   Nelson's    ship,    the 
Victory,  revictualing ;  Battle  of  Cape  St.  Vincent;  Block- 
ade of  Cadiz;   and  various  ships  of  the  Royal  Navy,  in 
English  and  foreign  waters. 

An  Original  Indian  Ink  Drawing  of  Edmund  Kean  as 
Richard  III.  (cut  out),  illustrating  the  line: 

"  Perdition  catch  thine  arm —  the  chance  is  thine." 

Lines  on  the  Death  of  Mr.  Sheridan.  Principibus  placuisse 
viris  /  /  An  Original  Poem  of  56  lines,  by  Thomas  Moore, 
entirely  in  his  autograph.  An  unpublished  piece  of  the 
most  scathing  severity,  and  of  great  interest  when  we 
remember  the  relations  existing  between  Sheridan  and  the 
Prince  Regent.  Some  of  the  lines  specially  addressed  to 
the  latter  we  quote: 

"  And  thou  too,  whose  life,  a  sick  epicure's  dream. 

Incoherent  and  gross,  even  grosser  had  pass'd. 

Were  it  not  for  that  cordial  and  soul-giving  beam. 

Which  his  friendship  and  wit  o'er  thy  nothingness  cast ; 

"  No  —  not  for  the  wealth  of  the  land  that  supplies  thee 
With  millions  to  heap  upon  Foppery's  shrine; 
No  —  not  for  the  riches  of  all  who  despise  thee, 
Tho'  this  would  make  Europe's  whole  opulence  mine ; 

"  Would  I  suffer  what  —  ev'n  in  the  heart  that  thou  hast  — 
All  mean  as  it  is  —  must  have  consciously  bum'd 
When  the  pittance  that  shame  had  wrung  from  thee  at  last. 
And  which  found  all  his  wants  at  an  end,  was  retum'd." 


92  The  Havemeyer  Library. 

(Referring,  of  course,  to  the  money  sent  to  Sheridan  when 
on  his  death  bed.)  In  his  "  Life  of  Sheridan,"  Moore  quotes 
a  few  of  the  lines,  without  stating  that  he  himself  was  the 
author,  and  prefaces  them  by  the  following  words :  "  There 
appeared  some  verses  at  the  time,  which,  however  intem- 
perate in  their  satire  and  careless  in  their  style,  came,  evi- 
dently, warm  from  the  heart  of  the  writer,  and  contained 
sentiments  to  which,  even  in  his  cooler  moments,  he  needs 
not  hesitate  to  subscribe."  About  the  warmth  of  Moore's 
heart  in  writing  the  poem  no  one  can  doubt  who  reads  the 
entire  production,  while  his  calling  them  careless  in  style  may 
be  attributed  to  a  little  mock  modesty.  A  portrait  of  Moore 
accompanies  the  MS. 

Autograph  of  Sheridan  — "  Yours  ever  sincerely,  R.  B. 
Sheridan." 

Scene  from  "  Faust."  Terry  as  Mephistopheles.  Two  figures,

in  1783,  with  the  terms,  and  other  professional  matters; 
addressed  to  Sheridan,  "  Membre  de.  Parlement,  Grovenor 
Place." 

A  new  Scott's  Ballad,  by  Lord  Melville,  rescued  from  the 
flames  before  his  lordship  had  completed  the  second  burn- 
ing of  his  papers.  An  Original  Satirical  Poem  of  2,^  lines,

Autograph  Note  by  Samuel  Rogers  to  Mrs.  Boscawen  and 
Miss  Tickell.  It  will  be  remembered  that  Rogers  was  one 
of  Sheridan's  sincerest  friends,  and  advanced  him,  when  on 
his  death-bed,  the  ;^i5o  which  enabled  the  Prince  Regent's 
tardy  offer  of  assistance  to  be  declined. 
Apology  by  J.  P.  Kemble  to  Miss  De  Camp  (afterward  Mrs. 
Charles  Kemble),  "  for  the  very  improper  and  unjustifiable 
behaviour  I  was  lately  guilty  of  toward  her."  In  Kemble's 
autograph,  dated  Jan.  27,  1795.  With  portrait. 
Autograph  Letter,  Signed,  by  J.  P.  Kemble,  to  Miss  De

Miss  De  Camp. 

Autograph  Letter,  Signed,  by  Lord  Erskine,  1822,  2  pages, 
8vo,  with  an  original  portrait  in  pen  and  pencil. 
Eight  Autograph  Letters,  Signed,  addressed  to  Miss  Tickell 
and  the  Hon.  Mrs.  Boscawen,  by  the  Duchess  of  Gloucester, 
the  Princess  Elizabeth,  and  the  Princess  Sophia.  To  one  of 
these  Miss  Tickell  has  added  a  note,  respecting  her  inser- 
tion of  the  "  Royal  autographic  letters  "  among  the  drawings 
in  her  scrap-book. 

Autographs  of  Earl  St.  Vincent,  Braham,  Lord  Normanby, 
the  Princess  Charlotte,  George  Colman,  William  IV.,  Queen 
Adelaide,  Lady  Caroline  Lamb,  the  Duke  of  Cambridge, 
and  Lord  Russell. 

Nearly  the  whole  have  brief  descriptions  in  Miss  Tickell's  own  hand,  by  which  a  direct 
connecting  link  with  Sheridan  is  formed,  and  the  authenticity  of  the  contents  indirectly 
guaranteed.

"A  series  of  engravings  from  Turner's  finest  pictures,  and  of  a  size  and  quality  commensu- 
rate with  their  importance,  has  not  till  now  been  offered  to  the  public. 

"  In  selecting  the  subjects  the  publisher  has  chosen  judiciously.  Many  of  his  grandest  pro- 
ductions are  in  this  series  of  engravings,  and  the  ablest  landscape  engravers  of  the  day  have 
been  employed  on  the  plates,  among  which  are  some  that,  we  feel  assured.  Turner  himself 
would  have  been  delighted  to  see.  These  proof  impressions  constitute  a  volume  of  exceeding 
beauty,  which  deserves  to  find  a  place  in  the  library  of  every  man  of  taste.  The  number  of 
coijies  printed  is  too  limited  for  a  wide  circulation,  but,  on  that  account,  the  rarity  of  the  publi- 
cation makes  it  the  more  valuable. 

"  It  is  not  too  much  to  affirm  that  a  more  beautiful  and  worthy  tribute  to  the  genius  of  the 
gteat  painter  does  not  exist  and  is  not  likely  to  exist  at  any  future  time. " — A  rt  Journal.

%*  Only  100  copies  printed  in  this  size  of  this  fine  edition.  Cellini  stands  before  us,  in  his 
memoirs,  unsophisticated  and  unembellished,  with  all  his  native  faults  upon  him,  and  with  all  his 
potent  energies  portrayed  in  the  veracious  manner  of  Velazquez,  with  bold  strokes  and  ani- 
mated play  of  light  and  color.  This  autobiography  is  the  record  of  action  and  passion.  Suf- 
fering, enjo^ng,  enduring,  working  with  restless  activity;  hating,  loving,  hovering  from  place 
to  place  as  impulse  moves  him,  the  man  presents  himself  dramatically  by  his  deeds  and  spoken 
words,  never  by  his  pondering  or  meditative  broodings.  It  is  this  healthy  externality  which 
gives  its  great  charm  to  Cellini's  self-portrayal,  and  rendered  it  an  imperishable  document  for  the 
student  of  human  nature.

*»*  Only  500  copies  printed. 

"  Dr.Inman's  present  attempt  to  trace  the  religious  belief,  sacred  rites,  and  holy  emblems 
of  certain  nations,  has  opened  up  to  him  many  hitherto  unexplored  fields  of  research,  or,  at 
least,  fields  that  have  not  been  over-cultivated,  and.  the  result  is  a  most  curious  and  miscella- 
neous harvest  of  facts.  The  ideas  on  priapism  developed  in  a  former  volume  receive  further 
extension  in  this.  Dr.  Inman,  as  will  be  seen,  does  not  fear  to  touch  subjects  usually  consid- 
ered sacred  in  an  independent  manner,  and  some  of  the  results  at  which  he  has  arrived  are

such  as  will  undoubtedly  startle,  if  not  shock,  the  orthodox.  But  this  is  what  the  author  ex- 
pects, and  for  this  he  has  thoroughly  prepared  himself.  In  illustration  of  his  peculiar  views  he 
has  ransacked  a  vast  variety  of  historical  storehouses,  and  with  great  trouble  and  at  considerable 
cost,  he  places  the  conclusions  at  which  he  has  arrived  before  the  world."

its  phases,  and  making  it  equally  valuable  and  interesting  to  the  Amateur,  the  Collector,  the

Many  capital  guides  to  the  study  of  prints  have  been  published,  commencing  with  the 
catalogues  of  MaroUes  (1666-72)  followed  by  the  works  of  Heineken,  Bartsch,  Robert 
Dumesnil,  Heller,  Passavant  and  Andressen.  Besides  these  excellent  works,  there  is  a  mul- 
titude of  pamphlets,  monographs,  catalogues  and  other  material  bearing  upon  prints.  M. 
Dutuit,  whose  name  is  sufficient  to  guarantee  thoroughness  of  execution,  has  undertaken  to 
gather  together  all  these  scattered  materials  and  include  the  whole  in  a  new  work.  The  eight 
volumes  constituting  the  New  Manual  will  therefore  include  all  the  materials  M.  Dutuit  has 
been  able  to  amass  in  a  long  career  devoted  to  the  collection  of  prints,  giving  notices  of  the 
pictures  and  drawings  of  painters  and  painter-engravers  which  have  been  engraved,  prices 
brought  at  sales,  notices  of  the  different  collections  of  prints  in  which  particular  engravings 
have  been  included,  an  account  of  the  different  processes  employed  by  the  engravers,  and 
gives  as  far  as  possible  all  the  evidence  extant  bearing  upon  certain  disputed  points.  The 
bibliographical  part  has  received  special  attention.  M.  Dutuit  has  also  enjoyed  the  advantage, 
conferred  by  the  magnificent  collection  of  which  he  is  the  owner,  of  having  most  of  the  ong- 
inal  prints  under  his  eye  while  describing  them. 

No  expense  has  been  spared  to  insure  the  best  workmanship  in  print,  paper,  illustration 
and  binding.

own  names,  and  sacrificed  their  vanity  to  their  interest  or  passion.  If  they  concealed  their 
names  and  disguised  their  hand,  it  was  to  carry  out  their  work  better.  One  wishes  to  destroy 
an  ancient  reputation  which  is  in  his  way :  another  wants  to  popularize  sentiments  which  he 
considers  useful ;  others  to  glorify  the  naUonal  vanity:  the  greater  part  to  make  their  fortunes. 
There  are  the  innocent  and  honest,  as  Defoe;  the  violent  and  imprudent,  like  Chatterton; 
the  foolish,  like  Ireland ;  the  unskilful  and  the  calumniators,  like  Landor;  and  lastly,  the  expert, 
like  the  Scotchman,  Macpherson,  who  deceived  an  entire  generation  of  Europe  and  America." 
Mr.  Halkett's  collections  represent  the  results  of  nearly  twenty  years'  diligent,  experienced, 
and  well-aided  research,  and  since  his  death,  in  1871,  the  Rev.  John  Laing,  Librarian  of  the 
New  College,  Edinburgh,  one  of  the  most  capable,  persevering,  and  accurate  of  bibliographers, 
continued  the  research  till  his  death  in  1880.
